Canoe Financial Renews At-The-Market Equity Program for Canoe EIT Income Fund
December 09 2022 - 9:14AM
Canoe EIT Income Fund (the “Fund”) (TSX: EIT.UN) (TSX: EIT.PR.A)
(TSX: EIT.PR.B) is pleased to announce that it is renewing its
at-the-market equity program (the “ATM Program”) that will allow
the Fund to issue up to $625,000,000 of units of the Fund (the
“Units”) to the public from time to time, at the discretion of
Canoe Financial LP (the “Manager”). Any ATM Program Units issued
will be sold at the prevailing market price at the time of sale
through the Toronto Stock Exchange (the “TSX”) or any other
marketplace in Canada on which the Units are listed, quoted or
otherwise traded. This ATM Program replaces the prior program
established in December 2021 that has terminated.
The volume and timing of distributions under the ATM Program, if
any, will be determined at the Manager’s sole discretion. The ATM
Program will be effective until January 7, 2025 unless terminated
prior to such date by the Fund. The Fund intends to use the
proceeds from the ATM Program in accordance with the Fund’s
investment objectives and strategies, subject to the Fund’s
investment restrictions.
The Fund’s regular monthly distribution of $0.10 per Unit
remains unchanged. The Fund has maintained the $0.10 per Unit
monthly distribution since August 2009, through varying market
conditions. The Fund’s annual voluntary redemption feature for
unitholders also remains unchanged.
Sales of the Units through the ATM Program will be made pursuant
to the terms of an equity distribution agreement dated December 8,
2022 with National Bank Financial Inc. (the “Agent”).
Sales of Units will be made by way of “at-the-market
distributions” as defined in National Instrument 44-102 Shelf
Distributions on the TSX or on any marketplace for the Units in
Canada. Since the Units will be distributed at prevailing market
prices at the time of the sale, prices may vary among purchasers
during the period of distribution. In order to ensure that the
price at which the Units are sold under the ATM Program is at least
equal to the most recent net asset value per Unit, the Manager may
make voluntary cash contributions per Unit to the Fund depending on
the price at which Units are sold during the period of any
distribution. The ATM Program is being offered pursuant to a
prospectus supplement dated December 8, 2022 to the Fund’s short
form base shelf prospectus dated December 7, 2022. Copies of the
prospectus supplement and the short form base shelf prospectus may
be obtained from your registered financial advisor using the
contact information for such advisor, or from representatives of
the Agent, and are available on SEDAR at www.sedar.com.
The Units have not been, nor will be, registered under the
United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or any state
securities laws and may not be offered or sold in the United States
or to U.S. persons absent registration or applicable exemption from
the registration requirement of such Act and applicable state
securities laws. This news release shall not constitute an offer to
sell, or the solicitation of an offer to buy, nor shall there be
any sale of these securities in any jurisdiction in which such
offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to
qualification under the securities laws of any such
jurisdiction.

identify these forward-looking statements. In addition, any
statement regarding future performance, strategies, prospects,
action or plans is also a forward-looking statement. Market
predictions and forward-looking statements are subject to known and
unknown risks and uncertainties and other factors that may cause
actual results, performance, events, activity and achievements to
differ materially from those expressed or implied by such
statements. Forward looking statements involve significant risks
and uncertainties and a number of factors could cause actual
results to materially differ from expectations discussed in the
forward looking statements including, but not limited to, changes
in general economic and market conditions and other risk factors.

The Fund makes monthly distributions of an
amount comprised in whole or in part of return of capital (ROC) of
the net asset value per Unit. A ROC reduces the amount of your
original investment and may result in the return to you of the
entire amount of your original investment. ROC that is not
reinvested will reduce the net asset value of the Fund, which could
reduce the Fund’s ability to generate future income. You should not
draw any conclusions about the Fund’s investment performance from
the amount of this distribution.
Commissions, trailing commissions, management
fees and expenses all may be associated with investment funds.
